This Book of Hours illuminated ca. 1470 contains stunning examples of full-page miniatures in the style of Willem Vrelant, most likely originating in Bruges. Given that several prayer cycles contain indications of a female suppliant, as well as a majority female saints in the litany, the book was either owned or co-owned by a woman. The artist or artists have chosen to alternate between color and near-grisaille miniatures throughout the text and the calendar, making for a strikingly varied program of images.

These tiny pots are made by the fine woodturning artist Glenn Krueg. Joe and I found them at a gallery in Mendocino called The Highlight Gallery. Aren't they lovely! Featuring real flowers and plants. Those tiny purple flowers make me so happy!

I made this as a gift for a friend who has a Mongol persona and does archery. The source for this was a Persian miniature in the Topkapi museum in Istanbul. The work is done in split stitch in silk on a linen background.
The other day I found a box of cardboard heat-seal 35mm slide mounts and an old custom built slide mounting press. I wondered if it still worked and if so, how I might put it to good use. It occurred to me that I could do miniature paintings and frame them in slide mounts as a novelty. They might make interesting business cards.

Prior to the invention of photography in 1839, the only way to have your likeness made was to hire an artist to paint your portrait. One of the most economical and popular forms was a very small portrait called a miniature. It was often painted with watercolor on a small piece of ivory or some other stable medium.
This unsigned painting is housed in an approximately 4x5 inch frame made of ivory and mother-of-pearl.
My guess is that this miniature dates to sometime in the mid 1800s.
Such a cute set. Not as tiny as the others but still amazing. The little egg with oshibori is awesome.
Something a little different...
The silver chrome bathtub is a soap dish I found for a buck at Goodwill.
